Adaptation of Scientific Workflows by Means of Process-Oriented Case-Based Reasoning

摘要

This paper investigates automatic adaptation of scientific workflows in process-oriented case-based reasoning with the goal of providing modeling assistance. With regard to our previous work on the adaptation of business workflows, we discuss the differences between the workflow types and the implications for transferring the approaches to scientific workflows. An experimental evaluation with RapidMiner workflows demonstrates that the approaches can significantly improve workflows towards a given query while mostly maintaining their executability and semantic correctness.
